The conversation had stopped, the Daleks that were interrogating the TARDIS, who was sat down on a metal chair with a head band on that was connect to a giant generator, were all staring at the Doctor, Clara and the Master.

"Well, it's about time. I've been here hours trying to stall. How come she's alive, the tin cans exterminated her" said the TARDIS.

"Sorry, fellow Akhatorians weren't being very helpful. Clara is alive because of him" the Doctor pointed to the Master.

"Clara needed a shock to restart her heart so I kissed her" the Master said.

Clara glowered at him.

"So, anyway we're all here now, so what are we here for? Daleks you're in a bit of trouble" said the Doctor strutted around the control centre. "You're low on power; you couldn't kill even if you wanted to. So you think of options, and then a neat little idea popped into your cases; 'lets get the Doctor's TARDIS. Let's use Clara as bait. Let's try to kill her while we're at it.' But you know what?" he paused and looked right into the eye stalk of a near by Dalek. "That was the worst plan you've ever had!" he shouted.

"We were damaged, caught in the crossfire of inferior races, many years ago. We had to conserve energy here" replied the Dalek.

"On the contrary" cut in the Master. "You weren't caught in crossfire, you were running from that ship and they fired at you, and hit you. I saw your records while the Doctor was searching the map."

"So, you're not conserving energy, you're hiding here. Like cowards" uttered Clara.

"How dare you, human! We are not cowards we are the superior race-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah we've heard it all before" interrupted the Doctor.

The Doctor went for the TARDIS but a Dalek blocked his way. "You will not come near the vessel."

"Move you stupid stalk on metal, let the Doctor free me" the TARDIS said angrily.

"I suggest you do as she says, you won't like her when she's angry" taunted the Doctor. He took another step forward.

"You will be exterminated!"

"Come on, you don't have enough power for that! It damaged you the first time trying to kill Clara!"

"Yeah, damaged me too, still got a bit of a headache from that" retorted Clara.

"Now, tell me, in fact no don't tell me I'll work it out for myself, why do you need my TARDIS. Of course it's staring me right in the face, no I mean she quite literally is staring me right in the face" rambled the Doctor as the TARDIS. "You need my TARDIS because she is living power and knowledge, she holds the secrets of the universe and you want to harvest that. Well I've got news for you, now that I'm here you aren't going to do that, you should have done it while I wasn't here."

"Doctor they can't not without you, they need another testimony from you" offered the Master, who had been looking at the information records on one of many monitors in the control centre.

"They aren't going to get that, not this time. It was a pathetic attempt."

"You already gave it to them" said Clara gravely reading the same monitor.

A Dalek moved to another monitor and replayed the testimony. "On the contrary, you weren't caught in crossfire, you were running from that ship and they fired at you, and hit you. I saw your records while the Doctor was searching the map" it was the Master's voice.

Heads turned, shocked expressions were exchanged; only the Master didn't have one.

"Oh alright, I'll come clean. It was all me" he revealed.
